CALIFORNIA SCHEMIN'
Friday, 25th September
UK 2025 - Cert 15 - 1hr 47 mins
Director: James McAvoy
Truth is stranger than fiction in actor James McAvoy's directorial debut. Inspired by the real-life saga of Scottish rap duo Silibil N' Brains, the film follows the unexpected journey of two lifelong friends from Dundee who dream of hip-hop super-stardom. There's just one problem: nobody takes two white guys with thick regional accents seriously in the UK's early 2000s rap scene. Back home and humiliated, the pair hatch a plan so absurd it just might work: they'll reinvent themselves as hard-partying MCs from Southern California complete with fake backstories and convincing-enough American accents. Against all odds - and with sharp commentary on image, identity, and the music industry's obsession with authenticity - they take off, conning even one of the industry's top producers. But keeping up the lie without losing sight of what's real becomes harder as the stakes rise.
SINNERS
Friday, 30th October
US 2025 - Cert 15 - 2hr 17 mins
Director: Ryan Coogler
1930s. Twin brothers "Smoke" and "Stack” Moore, scoundrels and sharp-dressing dandies, both played with some presence by Michael B Jordan, return home to Mississippi after working for the Chicago Mafia. They buy a sawmill and a juke joint and use their experience as gangsters to ensure that their businesses flourish. Things appear to be going well but trouble has just hit town. Winning four Oscars and three Bafta’s, it’s a freaky tale of supernatural evil and the blues that indirectly takes its inspiration from the legend of Mississippi bluesman Robert Johnson selling his soul to the devil at a remote crossroads in return for fame and fortune. And it’s also, in its forthright way, a riff on the idea of blues as a kind of music that is avidly consumed by its producers’ enemies. As Delroy Lindo’s character says: “White folks like the blues just fine; just not the people who make it.”
THE PRESIDENT'S CAKE
Friday, 27th November
Arabic 2025 (subtitles) - Cert 12A - 1hr 45 mins
Director: Hasan Hadi
It's "draw day" across Iraq, when schools select students for the honour of bringing items to their mandatory local celebrations of President Saddam Hussein's birthday. Nine-year-old Lamia lives in the historic marshes with her spirited grandmother, Bibi. Before school, Bibi teaches Lamia clever tricks to avoid being chosen for the president's cake. However, when Musa, the authoritative teacher, calls Lamia's name for the most challenging task--the birthday cake--she has no choice but to accept. Refusing could mean imprisonment or even death. Filmed entirely in Iraq, using mostly untrained actors, it won the section's Audience Award and the Caméra d’Or at Cannes Film Festival, and was selected as the Iraqi entry for Best International Feature Film at the Oscars.
THE TASTE OF THINGS
Friday, 11th December
French 2023 (subtitles) - Cert 12A - 2hr 15 mins
Director: Tran Anh Hung
Set in 1889. The relationship between Eugenie (Juliette Binoche), an esteemed cook, and Dodin (Benoît Magimel), the gourmet she has been working for over the last 20 years. Growing fonder of one another, their bond turns into a romance and gives rise to delicious dishes that impress even the world's most illustrious chefs. When Dodin is faced with Eugenie's reluctance to commit to him, he decides to start cooking for her. The film won Best Director for French-Vietnamese director Tran Anh Hung at Cannes Film Festival. "As epicurean as French haute cuisine, The Taste of Things indulges our palates with an exquisite seven-course love story for the soul."

Friday, 26th February
UK 2025 - Cert 12A - 2hr 5 mins
Director: Chloe Zhao
In late 16th-century England, Agnes (Jessie Buckley), a healer sensitive to the world around her, builds a home with William (Paul Mescal), a local tutor and aspiring playwright. As their lives fracture, they are tested by distance, silence, and grief. A dense and lyrical imagining of the lives of William Shakespeare’s family, based on the 2020 novel by Maggie O’Farrell, this is an emotionally raw drama, earning widespread critical acclaim for its breathtaking lead performances and exploration of profound grief. The film won Best Actress at the Oscars for Jessie Buckley.
EVERYBODY TO KENMURE STREET
Friday, 26th March
UK 2026 (Documentary) - 1hr 35 mins
Director: Felipe Bustos Sierra
Glasgow residents abandon their daily routines to gather on Kenmure Street after learning authorities plan to deport their neighbours, sparking an impromptu grassroots movement. The film follows the events of a 2021 Home Office immigration raid in Glasgow's Pollokshields neighbourhood at dawn on the day of Eid al-Fatir. Through crowd-sourced footage, archival material, and dramatised scenes, the documentary presents a chronological account of the protest. The film was awarded the Al Jazeera Documentary Award at Cannes Docs, an industry programme held alongside the Cannes Film Festival, recognising documentary projects presented during the showcase. It won the Sundance Special Jury Award.
"A spirited and uplifting documentary, Everybody to Kenmure Street triumphantly captures a community's witty, determined stand against injustice through the power of collective action."

With Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicia Del Toro. The film won six Oscars and six Bafta’s and was listed by the American Film Institute as one of the top ten films of 2025. "An epic screwball adventure teeming with awe-inspiring action set pieces, One Battle After Another is Paul Thomas Anderson's most entertaining film yet while also one of his most thematically rich.”
